HERMAN WILL, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

BCPTTLING- MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. $31,354:, dated December 1, 1885.

Application filed October 12, 1885.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HERMAN \VILL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ohicago,county of Cook, and State of Illinois,

in Bottling-Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the in vention, in which Figure 1 is a frontelevation of a bottlingmachine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of one of the standard-guides, looking in the direction of dart r, Fig. 1, and having in position one of the rods supporting the sirupegage; Fig. 8, an enlarged section of one of the standards, and rod and spring therein, taken on line z,Fig. 2.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottling machine or bench, the mechanism of which can be adjusted to place, in connection with the bottling-head, pints, quarts, or other lengths of bottles, and, in general, so to improve the mechanism that the parts shall operate more in harmony and be more durable, as hereinafter more fully described and shown.

It has been the custom to employ non-adjustable standards and countersink the table between them to hold quart-bottles, and to cover the countersunk portions with a plate to support pint bottles. An objection to such countersunk part is the difliculty of re moving broken bottles therefrom; and there are also objections to the springs of such niachines, in that they support by tensile force, and consequently soon become useless.

A represents the ordinary supporting table, and B the legs thereof, J being the treadlesupport.

C E represent hollow standards, which are supported by the table A by suitable flange bearings,thelower conical parts, E, projecting down through the table to give longer spring space and longer bearings to the connecting rods F F. The standards above the table are cut away from c to f at theirsides, and hollowed out enough to receive the coil-springs b b,

which surround the rods F and extend down Serial No. 179,726. (No model.)

into the socket parts E, as shown at Fig. 3. The parts fare cylindrical in form, and below them and surrounding the rods F are placed sleeves S, and through the sleeves are tapped set-screws d, which turn into indentations an which the bottling-head is to be above the 5 table A. The lower ends of the rods F are connected by a bar, 0, through which a rod,

D, connected with the treadle G, passes, and may be adjusted therein by means of a set screw, m in bar 0, turnedinto indentationsie ea the rod D, the adjustments of the rods F and D being equal.

Ihe position of the machine, as shown, 18 adjusted for quart-bottles. For pint-bottles the set-screws d d should engage depressions a n and the set-screw mengage indentation a.

H represents the bottling head, and I the frame of the sirup-gage connecting the tops of rods F. i

To work this machine, set the bottle on the table A between the standards 0, connect the head H with the bottle in the ordinary manner, and then with the foot or treadle Gbring down the rods F.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. In bottling-machines, the standard-guides O 0, cut away at their sides from c to f, and recessed out to receive the springs b, in combination with the sleevesS S, carrying setscrews, and placed around the rods and in the recesses below the cylindrical parts f, and the springs Z), having seats in the lower portions,E,ot the standards, for adjusting the bot tling'head, as specified.

2. The recessed standards 0 O, springs b therein,the rods F, provided with indentations n n, and the sleeves S on the rods F, in combination with the cross-bars G, adjustable rod D, and treadle G, and the bottling head H, as specified.

HERMAN WVILIJ.
